Any EU players want a free RAF mount/pet?

Phanx · 01-15-14, 10:49 PM

I upgraded my EU trial account during the $5 holiday sale and am planning to buy at least another month on it, so if any EU player wants to send me a RAF invite and a 30-day game time code, you will get a RAF mount/pet and 30 days of game time on your account. I'm elegible for RAF for another 17 days. If interested, send me a PM or post in this thread, and I'll PM you my email address.

Edit:
While you won't get any use out of the leveling XP bonus with my US schedule and random playtimes, I can grant some levels to your alts.

Edit #2:
Since everyone was apparently confused how RAF works nowadays, I'll clarify that I wasn't asking anyone to buy me game time. When the referred account adds a month of game time, the referring account also gets a month of game time. You are basically buying yourself 30 days of game time, and I'm getting 30 days for free. Yes, I could just buy the second month myself and give you the free month, but I don't even know that I'm going to continue playing for two months; if I wasn't giving someone the RAF mount I wouldn't buy the time until I actually needed it to keep playing (and wanted to keep playing at that point). This way, I'm not paying for time I might not even use, you're not paying for any time you're not getting yourself, and you're getting your mount or pet now, as opposed to waiting for another month and maybe getting it if I decide to keep playing. Everyone wins.

And, I've already gotten a referral, so the mount has already been claimed.

EDIT: Actually, scratch that, thought I had more money than I did. Blasted annual fees.

I thought you said you were quitting the game?

Anyway, I'm up for it.

No, I quit last summer.

... but while debugging addons on my trial account I was so entertained by the German "Barrens chat" (not that it's a bastion of intellectual prowess or anything, but I'm learning German and am currently at the stage where I can just understand that the conversation is about horse, um, "anatomy" and it's therefore far more hilarious than the actual content warrants) that I decided to give Blizzard my $5 so I could keep playing past 20. I'm telling myself it's educational. I'm learning colloquialisms!

Anyway, PM sent with my Battle.net email.

Also, if any EU players want to add my BattleTag, it's Phanx#2718. Why wait for me to answer your addon question on the forums when you can get a live answer in-game?!

On the main subject, still need a RaF? ... if so gimme a poke, we can probably work something out

So I can bug you in game too!

Nope, got one from Malsomnus, though Blizzard is making it difficult by telling me I can apply a RAF invite to an already-created account, but not actually telling me how I can do it. I've put in a ticket, but if anyone has done this before and knows how to do it, let me know.

I have had no personal experience yet with RaF but I do believe you can recruit another license on your battle.net account.
You already have a PTR license, and a starter license that you can have under the same battle.net account.

That will however most likely prevent you from playing more than one at a time.

The pet/mount rewards are battle.net account-wide I think, not license-wide.
I can't seem to find confirmation at present on the scope of the pets/mounts, but some reading up has found other players who have recruited themselves with a new starter license if you then upgrade it after it has been recruited.

Yeah, I have recruited myself before for the RAF leveling bonuses (which also led to me writing a multiboxing addon to make that less painful, but that's another story) and the process was straightforward -- click the link, create a new account, upgrade it from the starter edition, and add 2 months of game time to it.

The problem this time is that I don't want to link, upgrade, and add 2 months to a new WoW account. I want to link and add 2 months to an account I already created 2 weeks ago. According to the current RAF info pages on Blizzard's websites, you can link a RAF invite to an account that already exists, as long as it's less than 30 days old... but when clicking on the RAF invite link, there is never an option to do that.

Whether or not the leveling perks are Battle.net-account wide or not are irrelevant because I'm not using them... but before I add game time anywhere, I want to make sure that my referrer (who is a different person with their own Battle.net account) will still get the free month and mount even if I add the time to the WoW account I already have on my Battle.net account instead of the new Starter Edition account it created for me (also on my Battle.net account) when I clicked the RAF invite.
